But Vera Xavier knew that if she offered to get him another room, given his personality, he might just decide to "deal with her" sooner rather than later.
So, with a heart full of trepidation, she led Nathaniel Nathan back to her room. When Aaron Cheney and Jack Judd saw the two of them enter the same room, they exchanged winks, mischievous grins on their faces.
Nathaniel Nathan seemed to sense it. He glanced back at the two of them as he turned. They chorused, "Good night, Young Master Nathan!"
Then, Aaron Cheney and Jack Judd scurried back to their own rooms and shut their doors with a loud THUD.
An icy expression came over Nathaniel Nathan's face as he watched them. He closed the door deliberately, then turned his head to look at Vera.
Vera Xavier bit her lip, steeled herself, and dove straight into his arms. "Nathaniel Nathan," she whimpered, "I missed you so much!"
